many different ways. they may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age)根据文章的内容可知志愿者通常以许多不同的方式来帮助。如果你达到了开车的年龄的话，可以开车送老年人去教堂。根据常识可知只有成年才可以有开车的资格，分析选项可知c项符合题意，故选c项。【6题详解】篇章结构题。通读第二段可知，本段中以举例的方式展开的。分析选项可知d项符合题意，故选d项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知：志愿服务是一个给予和接受的过程。志愿服务使志愿者能够结识新朋友，与各行各业的人融洽相处。志愿服务是实验和尝试新技术和技能、发现个人天赋和探索职业选择的绝佳方式。作为一名志愿者将带领你踏上一条精彩的旅程，帮助你学到更多的东西。由此可推断出成为一名志愿者，你可以得到许多有价值的东西。分析选项可知b项符合题意。【8题详解】主旨大意题。本文的第一段中提出每年有成千上万的人在西部提供志愿者服务。志愿服务极大地巩固社区，帮助许多有困难的人解决问题。第二段讲述了志愿活动不同的方式。第三段讲述了志愿服务的好处。volunteer service在文章反复出现。综上所述可知本文主要讲述了西部的志愿者服务。分析选项可知a项符合题意，故选a项。【点睛】选择标题在英语阅读理解中属于主旨大意题，是一种深层理解题。要求考生在通读全文的基础上，认真分析文章大意及作者的写作意图。通常情况下，标题要有根据性，针对性和醒目性的特点。所谓概括性，就是指标题应最大程度上覆盖全文，囊括文章的主要内容，体现文章的主题。针对性就是对标题外延的一种界定，标题要直接指向文章的主要特点。而醒目性是为了吸引了读者的注意，唤起读者对文章阅读的兴趣。确定最佳标题的方法。在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息。找出覆盖全文的核心词汇，看选项内容是否切中文章的中心论题。也就是要看选项内容与作者的写作目的是否一致。如第4小题，文章反复出现的单词是stress，这与选项a中的volunteer service相照应。寻找文章的主题句。文章主要论题的关键是找到文章的主题句。主题句通常在文章的首段，也可能在文章的末段，在文章的某一段落，或分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心集中起来，即为全文的主题句。本文的中心句在首段的末句“every year, thousands of people in the west offer volunteer service. volunteering greatly strengthens the community because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, and the disabled and the injured to solve problems.”这就是对标题“volunteer service in the west”的回答。ci recently had dinner with someone who told me that one of his best friends had been killed in a private plane crash, and something happened at the memorial service that hell never forget.
